Tell it! Miami Northwestern looks like they’ve reloaded well too. That o-line is gonna be some special group this season! Can’t wait to see how they look in Week 1. (Fingers crossed that they lose, though! )

It looks like 4A suburban is doomed!

Did Lakeland really try to convince St. Frances to come to Bryant Stadium? I heard rumors, but nothing came to fruition of them. It would have been an awesome game; one that Lakeland could have won this season, considering everything regarding their roster.

We and Osceola are still standing in your way. Come and get us!

They will be fine. If they’ve some new players on offense, the coaching staff just needs to teach them ball security. Fumbles, INTS, drops, etc. are all coachable mistakes. The Spring game says a lot, but it also doesn’t tell the whole story. A lot can change in 3 months. I’m honestly excited for the season to start myself. I can’t wait to see if Venice can start off hot and get wins over Miami NW and St. Frances, or if they falter in the first few weeks with a bunch of new players on offense. I will be there for all of those games without a doubt. Out of curiosity, who do you root for when Cocoa and Rockledge play each other?

A lot of crazy things can happen in the spring game that you do not necessarily expect in the regular season. I’m glad to hear that Rockledge’s roster is loaded and back to what it should be. Sounds like they already had a good class returning even before transfers, so they should be set and ready to make a run at the 2A championship. If what you have said so far is true, than don’t even sweat the loss as you know the Raiders will be good and have an awesome season. Also, Happy Memorial Day, and thank you for your service, @KeemD321. Too often, we take our service members for granted and do not really show them the appreciation they deserve; especially considering everything that they stand for and protect. Thank you to all those on this board (if any others,) whom served in the US forces. Your contributions to this nation and sacrifices do not go unnoticed by any decent person.

Thank you, Jambun.

With the schedule TC is playing I would be really surprised if Vero Beach won the ball game. The Titans are clearly playing a schedule designed to toughen up for a state championship run. Not saying VB can’t do it (they certainly can,) but it’s going to take everything they have and maybe then some to knock off the Titans for the district crown. Best of luck to your Fighting Indians, Drogo.

Whose do you think is tougher? Treasure Coast could lose 6 or 7 of those games and possibly still squeak into the playoffs if they manage to win their district over VB.

Jambun, I have a question regarding unsportsmanlike penalties. If the ball is dead after a play is over and a player receives a taunting or “unsportsmanlike conduct” penalty during the brief time between the play, is the penalty yardage enforced on the next down, or is the down replayed with the loss of yardage?

Toughest schedule in the state.

A good schedule, no doubt. I think the Fighting Indians could go undefeated, but Miami Palmetto is probably the only hiccup if a perfect season is not in the cards. Also, why is TC the last game of the schedule? Are they no longer deemed a “competitive” rivalry? It seems strange (to me, anyway,) for a district opponent to be played in the final game of the season; especially when it is expected to be a great game and an overall “heavyweight bout.” But still a great schedule. We should try to schedule a game next season. The last two matches between Venice and Vero have been cancelled by a hurricane and a pandemic. What luck, lol.

That’s wonderful to hear. Good luck to the Conquerors tonight! We need a rematch in 2023!

Going to be a great game. I think it will be close for 3 quarters but TCA pulls away to win it by 10.

Credit to Lakeland tonight: they dominated in every phase of the game. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there; I have some family In town right now or else we could have met before the game. I hope this isn’t a precursor of the regular season, as Venice’s offensive line seemed really spotty. On some plays they looked like the o-line of last year, but most of the time it looked like they were blocking thin air. Bentley had almost no time to throw. Defense looked ok at points, they had a few plays where they got good pressure and I think they even registered a sack. But overall it was the pitiful offense that doomed them to lose this game. They need to sort out the issues with the offensive line quickly, or else they could be in for a 3-7 season with the kind of teams scheduled to play. With that being said, I can’t wait for the season to begin. I know they will get the issues sorted out and a least be in the mix for another run in 2022. But it’s going to be very tough to get back to the big dance with you guys, Osceola, Riverview, and LG in the way. I am hopeful that they can repeat but realistic as right now, the odds do not appear good for another magical run. However, Father Time has yet to tell a lie and we will have to wait and see how everything shakes out. Go Indians!

Nah Dillard trash, Madison County better.

Special teams bro. I’ll say it again. SPECIAL TEAMS!! Lol. One blocked kick and Dillard wins that STA game last year.

I thought the FHSAA branded 4 metro and 4 suburban classes each, which came out to 8 classes overall? To explain- (4A Metro, 4A Suburban, 3A Metro, 3A suburban, so on so forth.) Was there a change that I missed?

I can’t wait for the season to start man, all of this NFL draft stuff and discussion is driving me up a damn wall! Lol. I expect Dillard to be a dominant force and probably win 3A Metro outright. STA has something to fear this season..

Not an issue for Madison County, though. All teams that play them are trash. So even if they don’t get a game, they win vicariously through... well, I’ve never made it this far!

They can defeat CMD without a doubt. Last year, Dillard and CMD played in the preseason game and fought to a 16-0 Lion win. The defense on both sides were extremely stringent and did not allow big plays or long, extended drives. In my opinion, Dillard has nowhere to go but up considering that most of their team from last year returns and they have received 8-10 transfers in already. They should be favored on paper, although it is certain that anything can happen. Anyone can beat anyone on any given night so don’t write off Dillard like they’re a joke. The Panthers are going to give everyone on their schedule a tough game, win or lose. It’s a game of inches, man... a game of inches.

Going to be a very tough game for the Raiders to win. AHP is loaded to the brim with talent. But as you know, any given Friday...

Chaminade and STA are wins, MC the lone loss.

Whhheeew now that’s a gauntlet!! Lol. Win them all and you’re on track for a national championship. Good luck to your Panthers bro, I can easily see 10-0 with the kind of squad they have returning. We need to schedule a game next year!

Mostly correct; but on the latter half, I think you are missing a few bad words, Perspective!
